Although I really like and enjoy the divisiveness of OG, I’m enjoying this one as well. It’s a more refined, smooth, and easy to wear version. If you hated the OG, this one might make it for you. It comes across similar to Rochas Man Intense. The opening feels aromatic, green, a bit citrusy/sweet, and a touch of spice. The dry down hits with the coffee accord shining, but very well blended with some sweetness, a licorice and balsamic nuance that is magical. This is a safe scent for those venturing into coffee fragrances, more appropriate for fall winter and spring, casual occasions, the office, and gatherings. It has good projection and longevity.

I have slept on this house and am not really sure why. I tried Hacivat a year ago and didn't care for it; maybe that turned me off to the house. I picked up three recently and, WOW, I'm sure glad I did: Kredo: I love Tom Ford's Oud Wood but hate the abysmal performance, so I have never picked up a bottle. If you are looking for that type of scent profile that performs like a beast, this is it!! After seeing reviews like "this is Oud Wood on steroids" and "if Oud Wood had an elixir, Kredo would be it", I had to try it. Cardamom and Pink Pepper up top; Osmanthus in the mid; and Agarwood, Suede, and Sandalwood in the base. It's amazing! Wulong Cha: This was love at first sniff and is one of my new favorite freshies. It will definitely be getting a lot of wear this summer. Bergamot, Orange and Mandarin Orange in the open; Oolong Tea and Nutmeg in the mid; and Fig and Musk in the base. Could be a daily driver, gym fragrance, office scent, literally whatever. Excellent longevity. I am not good at gauging projection but I would call it soft to moderate. Gorgeous tea fragrance! Ani X: I am not a fan of gourmands or overly sweet fragrances and, while this one gets sweet in the dry down (lemon cake/creamy vanilla vibes), it manages to remain restrained and offers a lot of versatility. Lemon, Bergamot, Ginger, Melon and Cardamom up top; Green Apple, Black Currant, Lavender, and Patchouli in the mid; and Vanilla, Sandalwood, Cashmere Wood, and Cedar in the base. Amazing performance and an addictive dry down. This will be a perfect spring/summer date night fragrance.
